Iraqi hostages found in Falluja

US-led troops involved in fighting against insurgents in the Iraqi city of Falluja have found four imprisoned men believed to be Iraqi hostages.

Three of the men were contractors working for the US military, a US marines spokesman said, and the fourth said he was a taxi-driver.

All of the men had been beaten and starved and were wearing handcuffs.

US-led forces say they have rid more than 70% of the the city of insurgents in the battle, which began on Tuesday.

ummmmm.... is it just me or does something appear to be 'funny' about this 'hostage'..?

I am wondering if he is a trojan horse- he does not seem to be grateful to be saved, in another picture he is sitting alone looking very sullen...
